Data-taking information
Geminga has been observed with standard wobble observations (offset = 0.4 deg), in dark and good weather conditions:
- TNG dust < 0.5 ug/m3
- No clouds both from satellite images and all sky camera
- Rate_LL around 5.5 kHz
- Lidar trans@9km >= 0.85
Runs per each day
- 2022
- 2023
- 2024
The selection is based on the differential intensity spectra of the detected showers, dR/dI (events/s/p.e.). See reference notebook here. We also applied a zenith cut at Zd<50deg.
